Pictures are in colour whereas some ancient one in b/w as well. Both the books are must reading for all Fatehpur lovers. You may contact me on my cell: 9821042840. Regards, Nalin Saraf (India).

Fatehpur Shaekhawati is a turely mesmarising place. Has relegious sparks and also is a great junction for god and godessess.It is a hub of rajasthani culture and relegious temples. Having Laxminathji temple and Amrithnathji Aashram in it aads a symbolic meaning and importance for thins unique and beautiful place. And this is all because of the wonderful people there and their belief.

I have visited the Jangid vaidik vidyalaya few days back …The area of playground used for construction of a temple and a community hall …I have seen after long time, the view of the school is very bad …
The 73 years old school near to close..

for me Fatehpur Sekhawati is very important for VILAKSHAN Awdhut 1008 Baba Sri Amrit Nath ji Maharaj – Amrit Nath Aashram , specially this year we are celebrating 100 years of Nirwan of Sri Baboji Maharaj

hello sir
fatehpur is my born place
i love my fatehpur town in the district of sikar rajasthan
AND I PROUD TOoo…

“To hear never-heard sounds,
To see never-seen colors and shapes,
To try to understand the imperceptible
Power pervading the world;
To fly and find pure ethereal substances
That are not of matter
But of that invisible soul pervading reality.
To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;
To be a lantern in the darkness
Or an umbrella in a stormy day;
To feel much more than know.
To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a DESERT;
To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;
To be a lots of havelis, & read the memory of the street
Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.
To be a smile on the face of a woman
And shine in her memory
As a moment saved without planning.”

“There are many beautiful cities im rajasthan that get by on their good looks, in that most famous & beautiful place are fatehpur shekhawati
offer climate and scenery,; and there are cities like Detroit that have to work for a living,

but my fatehpur shekhawati is so different whose reason for being might be but whose growth is based . Detroit has its natural attractions: and four distinct seasons for those who like variety in their weather, everything but hurricanes and earth-quakes. But it’s never been the kind of city people visit and fall in love with fatehpur shekhawati haveli this be a nice place to live.”
